Chapter 523: The invincible demeanor of the benevolent!
Wang Tong's manor is located in the deepest part of the village. It is surrounded by three willow trees, densely covered with springs, and there are fish ponds in the manor, making it very suitable for living.
"What a big house!"
When Xiao Mu saw this manor for the first time, he sighed.
There are more than thirty houses inside the manor, all made of fine cedarwood and blue bricks. The surrounding walls are as high as three people, and there are barbed wires all over them to prevent people from climbing over the walls to enter.
There are stone lookouts in every corner of the manor, where you can see the situation outside the manor. When necessary, archers can be arranged to protect the entire manor.
After Wang Tong saw it, he nodded secretly. As long as the archers' archery skills were high enough, it would be difficult for even hundreds of people to attack from the outside.
The yards of wealthy families usually have such facilities to prevent riots and bandit robbery in the turbulent times!
In addition to these, the manor also has paddy fields, vegetable fields, mulberry forests, tea mountains, and fish ponds. This is a typical farm. Except for some seasonings, the manor can even be self-sufficient in other things! p>
Wuji Mansion has more than thirty such manors outside the capital. Each manor's annual income from mulberry farming exceeds five thousand taels, which is a considerable amount of income.
This is also the main source of income for the princes in these courts.
The salary they received from the court was actually only a small part of their income, even a drizzle.
The annual expenses of Wuji Mansion are about more than 100,000 taels of silver. The income of the manor is only equal to the expenses of the manor. In times of famine, it is not even possible to run the entire mansion. Most of them
Yes, he should have been transferred from the Zhao family.
"No wonder Wang Xuanji relies so much on Mrs. Zhao. He needs to maintain his clean image in the court, and also maintains the food and drink of hundreds of people in the house. Without the help of the Zhao family, even Wang Xuanji's identity
, and it’s hard to hold on.”
Wang Tong muttered to himself, he had thought of this, but even so, Wang Xuanji should not have done that to his mother before.
Men are so difficult, and the relationship between Wang Xuanji and Mrs. Zhao is a complete combination of interests!
In comparison, Meng Bingyun has little value, and it is normal that it has not been maintained.
Three days after the move, all the land deeds and other formalities were handed over, and the name of the owner of the manor truly became Wang Tong. After doing this, Prince Yu evacuated everyone in the manor.
He employs people without suspicion, there is no need to arrange surveillance here!
Prince Yu’s approach shows the invincible demeanor of a benevolent person!
Shen Tianyang has naturally become the butler. At this time, he is holding a large stack of account books and counting money.
At such an old age, he is an old man in the world, but it is his first time to have such money, so he can't help but feel a little excited at the moment.
"Benefactor, the current balance of money in the warehouse of this manor is 7,000 taels. When the year is good, the annual income is only so much. If no tribute is paid to the prince, the money will basically be enough to cover the entire Zhuangzi's expenses.
!"
Wang Tong sat on a small-leaf rosewood chair and listened.
He opened his mouth and said:
"This manor was given to me by the prince. How much tribute should I pay every year? I should turn it in according to the original amount. I promise to assist him, so the money issue cannot hold him back."
Wang Tong said to himself that he was familiar with things like human nature and sophistication, but he no longer cared about these external things and emotions. At present, his strength in this world has not yet reached that stage, so he still needs to go to the human world and sophistication.
Go.
These things are not worth mentioning at all compared to his purpose of coming to this world to replenish his soul!
"We should think of some ways to increase the income of the manor!"
Wang Tong closed his eyes, and he suddenly thought that the peanuts and sweet potatoes that those foxes served him in the valley last time were very delicious, and the people of the Qian Dynasty should also be rare.
If you can grow these two things, you should be able to sell them at a good price.
Thinking of this, Wang Tong felt a little excited.
"Xiao Mu! Get ready, let's go for a walk in Xishan!"
Immediately, the two of them rode horses and kept shuttling through the mountains and forests. Soon, Wang Tong relied on his last memory and arrived at the valley where the foxes took him before.
The scenery in the valley remains the same, the only difference is that the vegetation here is much more lush than before.
"Brother Wang Tong, there is a big cave here. Someone seems to have lived in it. How did you find such a good place!"
After Xiao Mu entered the cave in the valley, he was suddenly surprised.
Wang Tong revisited his old place. He remembered that there were more than 100,000 books here before, but now they have all been moved away, leaving only a row of empty bookshelves.
"This was once a place where a group of foxes lived. I even read books here before!"
Wang Tong sat down and told Xiao Mu his previous story. He liked this little girl very much. If possible, he could take this little girl as his disciple.
"How amazing!"
Xiao Mu was so mesmerized that she didn't come back to her senses until Wang Tong finished speaking.
"Okay, this time we are here to tidy up the groundnuts and sweet potatoes on the hillside, and then apply some fertilizer. If they can grow in the fall, and we get the seeds, we will go back and plant them to see if they can survive.
If it is possible, I will be able to sell it at a good price when the time comes!"
"When I have money, I will buy you some maids. Xiao Mu, you will also be a eldest lady by then!"
Wang Tong laughed.
After the two cleaned up here, they were all covered in sweat. At this time, Xiao Mu said:
"Brother Wang Tong, why does Zhui Dian look a little restless?"
At this time, Zhui Dian parked at the entrance of the valley kept snoring.
"There's someone fighting outside the valley!"
Wang Tong knew that Zhui Dian had been on the battlefield before and was very keen on the sounds of fighting and would report it to his master as soon as possible.
"Let's go out and have a look!"
Wang Tong did not mount his horse, but patted the chasing lightning to signal it to calm down. Then, he held the Shark-Slaying Sword, and Xiao Mu quickly headed towards the top of the mountain, hiding in a small forest.
This forest is the commanding point of the entire valley. You can see many places in the valley from here, but those places cannot see here.
Sure enough, they saw, on a small road several miles away, a dozen cultivators in black were surrounding and killing another group of people. There were also more than ten people on the other side, led by a woman wearing white clothes.<
